Wrong, I'm running camber bolts on the racecar, have never moved. Just need to be torqued correctly.

With camber bolts and strut tops you're get up to around 2 degrees.

with just camber bolts ive never seen anymore than -1.5.

And yes torqued a fuckload, with loctite and i still think it could jiggle around ever so slowly.

Any camber adjusting bolt will move. It's why regular wheel alignments are required. If the bolts never moved then you'd never need wheel alignments. Shane's bolts will never have moved because he's always driving his car on nice smooth race-tracks, not on crappy potholed roads.

How much do you think you are going to get on the front without major suspension redesign?

No, just installed correctly and torqued to the correct setting, 55lb-ft from memory, and no loctite needed.

And no I don't drive on pot holed roads but I do bounce off ripple strips quite often

That's pretty standard price-wise when it comes to racing components. Hell, even new genuine replacements will cost more than that. It's got all the bushes you need, as well as a higher achievable adjustment setting for "race use only". Postage is a bit dear, but otherwise pretty good.

yip camber bolts gave me -2 of camber never moved on me either... Now run coilovers with adjustable tops reckon could get about -5 out of them but no need of course.

As for rears the factory gives up to around -3 but this will also depend on condition of bushes etc and not a bad price for those arms early evo ones do fit but that postage is a bit exp

Was alarmed at the postage, the price seems pretty good actually.

Fair enough. Didn't know which bit you were alarmed at so assumed the whole thing
